Python __call__ special method practical example

Question

I know that __call__ method in a class is triggered when the instance of a class is called. However, I have no idea when I can use this special method, because

Answer 1

Class-based decorators use __call__ to reference the wrapped function. E.g.:

class Deco(object):
    def __init__(self,f):
        self.f = f
    def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        print args
        print kwargs
        self.f(*args, **kwargs)
